Sean Penn in his directorial comfort zone: barren, white landscapes of Alaskan / American hinterland and a boy attempting to disengage his shadow forever. A true story and all that, with much that one can relate to: anger, loner adventurism, search for truth and such shit. Well made film over couple of hours: must mention the promising performance from Emile Hirsch and as can be expected from a Sean Penn film - a solid soundtrack.
Rating: * * * +
A serial killer murder mystery where the protagonist (Kevin Costner) is the killer - a fact known from the outset. A successful business man, Kevin Costner has his evil alter ego (William Hurt) goading him on. Then theres Demi Moore, playing the detective, with a few complications in her life. Perfect script, I believe, for a Bollywood remake - average performances, adequate twists & turns and many layers to fool with. An appropriate watch if one is in the mood for a mindless crime thriller - a throwback to the 90s.Rating: * *
